Term recognition doesn't work in trados 2017 but the TB looks fine in Term viewer/Multiterm

Hello, I'm using Trados 2017. The termbase I'm trying to use appears correctly in Multiterm and Term viewer in Trados, but Term recognition doesn't work and detect the terms in the segment... Recently updated, hitlist settings were fine, I removed and re-installed Trados and Multiterm, but the same problem keeps occurring. What am I doing wrong? Thank you!

  • Hello Paul,

    I also have the same problem i.e. term recognition does not work, but terms are fine in Termbase and in Termbaseviewer.


    Configuration: Windows 7 SP1, SDL Trados 2017 SR1 (freelance) and SDL Multiterm 2017 with latest updates installed.

    Terms look fine in Multiterm and even Termbase search is working.


    Recognised terms ARE NOT lined red in the source.


    If i try to add the same term using 'add new term or quick add new term', Trados says "this term is already present in the termbase. Do you want to edit an existing entry?"

    I have done:
    (1) Resetting window layout
    (2) Deleting and renaming settings file/respective folders of SDL Trados and Multiterm
    (3) Testing with small termbases and a small sample file
    (4) Reorganising the termbase and even checked the language variants
    (5) Tested different termbases and NO term recognision for all termbases.

    I have almost done with ALL solutions provided in this website.

    Languages: Tamil (One of Indian languages) to English (United States) translation
    When Tamil is a source language, the term recognition DOES NOT work.

    When English is a source language, the term recognition WORKS without any problem.

    Please provide a suitable resolution for this issue.

    Thank you in advance.
